Talk:Nationalist faction (Spanish Civil War)

WIP
Good start to a long needed article. I've added a number of sections to the article describing the groups. Ideally it should look something like the articles on the Axis and Allied powers, with a brief summary on the different groups and their aims.

Doubt about name
Greetings,

I have a little doubt about this faction's name. In Spain, where I am from, they are called the "Nacionales", while historic "regional" movements are called "Nacionalistas". What it happens is that "Nationalistas" are Catalan nationalism, Basque nationalism and Galician nationalisms; during the war, only the Galician movement joined the "Nacionales", the other two joined the republic. So, why are they called "nationalists" and not "nationals", which would be a more exact and appropriate translation?

Thank you very much,
